    This is key, 2019 is when the peace talks were ongoing, which coincides with the bounty program (18 of the 22 were combat-related, deadliest year since '14, the last year of combat operations). March 2020 is only when we found out about it.

    Posts squawking about "But how many have died since March?" are completely missing the point.

    I hit reply when I read that first tweet above to ask the same thing...Are we to assume his strategy for this is the same as with covid19. If they don't make a report it didn't happen.

    The U.K.'s Sky News now reporting (and confirming) the story...

    Russia paid Taliban fighters to attack British troops in Afghanistan
    The group responsible for the payments is the same Russian intelligence outfit behind the Skripal poisonings, Sky News is told.

    https://news.sky.com/story/russia-p...attack-british-troops-in-afghanistan-12016425

    btw, secretary of defense appears to be in the UK, likely discussing this "fake news" story...

    Interesting that we waited 2+ months to tell the Brits...so much for the Special Relationship.

    “When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.”

    Since the alleged briefing there have been 3 straight months of no troop deaths. When is the last time that happened in Afghanistan?

    more like: ... are trying to intentionally confuse people while covering Trump’s flabby behind.

    The fact that stripes.com is on this story, believing the NYT over Lyin’ Don is significant.

    lol, they are finally realizing this... so as expected, onto stage 2 - denial. Stage 3 is not that far away.

    Might want to look back before March, doofus. You could even read the Stars and Stripes article what was posted this morning in this very thread.

    If mah dude doesn’t care about 125,000 of us dying from COVID (so far) this year, what did he care about 22 soldiers last year?
